Suppose an astronaut can jump vertically with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. The time that it takes him to touch the ground is gi

ven by the equation 0 = 5t - 0.5at2. The time t is in seconds and the acceleration due to gravity a is in m/s2. How long will it take him to reach the ground if he jumps on Earth where a = 9.8 m/s2?

Answer:

t=1.020s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

5t-0.5at^{2} =0

Actually the given equation is the 2nd equation of motion

i.e. S =V_{i} t+0.5at^{2}

where S=0 because the astronaut jumps on the earth

and initial velocity V_{i}=5

to find time t, put the given value of a=9.8m/s^{2} in the given equation, we get

5t-0.5(9.8)t^{2} =0\\t(5-4.9t)=0\\ \ dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ t\ we \ get\\ 5-4.9t=0\\4.9t=5\\t=\frac{5}{4.9}\\ t=1.020s

it will take t=1.020s to reach the ground if he jumps on the Earth

6x - 2(x + 2) &gt; 2 - 3(x+3)<br><br>Solve the inequality <br><br>plz help ​
Mumz [18]

Answer:

x > -3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2(x + 2) > 2 - 3(x + 3)

Distribute the two and three inside the parenthesis.

6x - 2x - 4 > 2 - 3x - 9

Combine like terms.

4x - 4 > -3x - 7

Add 4 to both sides.

4x > -3x - 3

Add 3x to both sides.

7x > -3

Divide both sides by 7.

x > -3/7

Suppose the weights of Farmer Carl's potatoes are normally distributed with a mean of 8.0 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.1
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

a) 0.9959 = 99.59% probability that the mean weight is less than 9.3 ounces

b) 0.0129 = 1.29% probability that the mean weight is more than 9.0 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 8.0 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.1 ounces.

This means that \mu = 8, \sigma = 1.1

(a) If 5 potatoes are randomly selected, find the probability that the mean weight is less than 9.3 ounces?

n = 5 means that s = \frac{1.1}{\sqrt{5}} = 0.4919

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 9.3. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{9.3 - 8}{0.4919}

Z = 2.64

Z = 2.64 has a pvalue of 0.9959

0.9959 = 99.59% probability that the mean weight is less than 9.3 ounces

(b) If 6 potatoes are randomly selected, find the probability that the mean weight is more than 9.0 ounces?

n = 6 means that s = \frac{1.1}{\sqrt{6}} = 0.4491

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 9. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{9 - 8}{0.4491}

Z = 2.23

Z = 2.23 has a pvalue of 0.9871

1 - 0.9871 = 0.0129

0.0129 = 1.29% probability that the mean weight is more than 9.0 ounces
